I hung out with sudotong, co-founder of firefliesai - felt like chatting with a friend who casually built a billion dollar company.

But here’s the wild part:
Sam built Fireflies into one of the most powerful AI companies in the world - without noise.

📈 $1B+ valuation
🏢 Powering 78% of the Fortune 500
🌍 20M+ users across 500K+ organizations
🚀 20x growth in 2.5 years - with almost no marketing!!!

While others shouted, Sam just built.
And the product spoke for itself.

He’s also a total legend.
When the cameras stopped, we rapped an entire Drake album together.

👉 I walk & connect with founders. Follow me to discover who’s next!
